TECH Thread - MITSUBISHI L200, Sportero, Triton.

[chote]

Need some advise..
My L200(K74) have a high pitch noise on 5th gear, and when the clucth is pressed the noise disappears.
Anyone have ever experience this

[venum]

Venum that ad is awesome, best I have ever seen on here, van is excellent as well! Lucky you don't have the opening back glass otherwise those subs would have never fit lol! GLWS bro!

But, why didn't you put the turbo timer that fits in the blanks on the dash instead?

Thanx bro

I love my Sportero and I have kept her well. If I do not get my calling price or reasonably close I am keeping her. A good vehicle for a worthy new owner.

I didn't put that type of timer cuz i do not like them.

I prefer teh A'PEXi that has the voltmeter

Hey can any of you guys tell me how much engine oil the 08 3.2 sportero is suppose to be using. Because I'm starting to think the firm was robbing me.

2 gallons and 1/2 of a quart

Yes, but not exactly what you are experiencing.

My K74 used to make a rattling sound on idle in neutral

depressed the clutch - problem went away

changed the clutch release and pilot bearings when I changed teh clutch and pressure plate - problem persists

Mechanic said that it was a gear shaft bearing inside the gearbox that had wear. To repair the gearbox would have to come down and open up.

It wasn't causing any performance issues, so I ran it for years

fairly common problem with older mitsu gearboxes, just listen to a Canter or Fuso that has some mileage on it when idling

[Hamtonic]

The firm use to bill me for 9 quarts which seems right according to what you guys are saying but when I changed the oil by an outside mech yesterday the van only took 7 liters which is 7.25 quarts even after we started and filled the filter.

[Val]

9 quarts sometimes, 8 quarts sometimes for the 3.2
Depends on how much comes out of the turbo and oil cooler I think.

What was the end result...did it need to the 9 quarts or were you being robbed?

Thanx fellas

I am a die hard Mitsu man

Teri is the 6th and going strong

she treats me well, quite a lady . . . not the bad ting that was my K74, but as I come to appreciate the finer things in life, I also appreciate the simpler things equally

I wanna be big like ronsin1 and Val, so my priorities getting more focused on other things

something wrong there, badly.

10,000km isn't the mileage that I was referring to, more like 80,000km +

that L200 still on warranty, so get them to sort it out

the squeaking leaf springs are strange as well, as mine is 5 years and 118,000km and only squeaks when the springs are dirty or wet

lithium grease used to work really well on the K74

absolute best was graphite or synthetic grease (same grease that service stations use in nipples), but beware, it gets nasty over time as it attracts a hell of a lot of dust and teh grease gets spread by teh squishing of teh springs

absolutely quite though

Had the same squeaking with my 3.2 when I now bought it as well. Spoke to the sales rep and was put on to one of their service technicians "who usually work on the ROSA buses" he told I needed to underwash and grease the springs "I though odd since the van wasn't even 6 months in my hands". None the less did the wash and grease, noise stopped for 2 weeks then started again. When I took the van in for the first service told them about the issue they adjusted the springs and noise was gone. I underwash and grease twice for the year once at the start of the dry season and then again at the start of the wet season and have never had any sqweaking issues.

[AllTrac]

so my priorities getting more focused on other things

same here, as much as i love my triton, been nothing by reliable to me, i may have to throw her up for sale in a couple months, buy something slightly cheaper so i can lock in a deal which hopefully would be available in the near future. Good Luck.

what are a good brand replacement shock for the 06 sportero, van will be doing some light offroading, maybe a bit longer if available....


and where are they available locally, firm quoted 2600 ea for oem replacement...

[venum]

firm quoted 2600 ea for oem replacement...

they really messed up in there yes

I get quoted $3500 for a CS3 Lancer shock absorber and they want $2600 for a Sportero absorber

I wouldn't go OEM for off-road upgrade if u raising it (which i assume u are cuz u asked for longer) I would go with something thicker like the OME or rancho or other off-road

if no upgrade to height, then the OEM will work

OEM is KYB

I would recommend KYB gas-a-just in a heartbeat as I had these on the K74 and they ride real nice on the road and handle rough road really nice as well

I brought in OEM sportero shocks for 550.00 per side... they wont KYB were tokico but very different from tokico sold locally...as in KYB there are different grades in KYB...brought them from Thailand Mitsubishi.

dude u gonna make me crawl under my truck at this ungodly hour

i will have to check this

[Val]

As a quick fix I used to pressure wash the springs then apply Royal Purple Max Chain or Max Film spray (whichever I had at the time)
That used to hold out better than the grease that DM used to put.

On another note I'm looking for a roll bar that will fit with the RollnLock. Preferably not plastic as I want to use it to transport ladders and plyboard.

Anyone know where to check?

[ronsin1]

so a couple days ago I went back to the firm for the little issue I had.

Service Manager was not there however the Service Advisor I normally deal with was there so told him about my episode last Saturday he promised to sort the issue out for e plus he asked that I bring in the pickup at my convenience and he will sort out what was not done. and will ensure I get a reduces cost due to not having it done as requested

[Val]

Did probably the stupidest thing you can do with a 4x4 last night...a 0 to 60 run. lol.

Without flooring it on first gear to avoid wheel spin so it shifted at 3.8K then 4.1K on 2nd, got a 10.11 seconds.

Well that and I had a Navara driver wondering if he needed to get his engine checked. So embarrassing (for me).

[venum]

it shifted at 3.8K then 4.1K on 2nd,

Dude, WTF

My 4M41DiD don't see >3k rpm

and that is standstill to 160km\h

y you beating it out so

oh wait . . .

I had a Navara driver wondering if he needed to get his engine checked. So embarrassing (for me).

Good reason

got a 10.11 seconds.

well done

Real funny ppl calling for my Teri

so far is low ballers calling. had 1 serious old dude

men with empty pockets want her bad

man call yesterday and ask for some details of the vehicle (dunno if my ad vague), cash buyer, was willing to give me cheque same evening, emphasize cash buyer like 5 times

asked my best price, so I tell him and then . . . . pause on the line . . .




man say he ain't have all that cash, he have a $145k

[Val]

Tell him go buy a Wingle.

2600.00 is absolute madness part numbers in pic they can check it....I understand they have overheads but jeeze man that is over doing it big time...

[venum]

Check 1st page for KYB replacement parts if you wanna go the non-oem route

[AllTrac]

then 4.1K on 2nd.

ouch!

i does have alarm bells going on in my head when i nearing 3K

[Val]

That's a rare thing. Since the re-map on the fuel controller, it gets up there so fast I don't even notice, but I try to keep it below 3k normally also (saves on diesel).

[AllTrac]

yea, i know your engine can take it wrt to fueling and optimized maps, i was just thinking if i did that to my stock lump and ouch came to mind lol

[kkallicharan]

So u all saying its not good when I mash down on d hiway and it goes up to 4k rpm?

[venum]

Mash down to get 4000+rpm is not bad

Just not good for your engine over prolonged time

Diesel engines not designed to put out power at high rpm

[Val]

If it's stock, i don't see the need to get up to 4k, it comes out of the powerband after about 3.3K.

^^Also have a TCX L200, and experiencing those squeaking leaf springs as well, but nothing else, otherwise it rides perfectly fine and performance is great.
